IN THE HEART OF THE REGION
Olsztyn, the capital town of the Province of Warmia and Mazury, has a population of 174,000.
It lies roughly halfway between Warsaw (220 km) and Gdańsk (180 km) and 144 km away
from Kaliningrad, the capital city of the Kaliningrad Oblast, a Russian enclave. It has very good
location at the intersection of main roads: Sate Road 16 leading from the west of Poland to the
region of the Great Masurian Lakes and on to Lithuania, and State Road 51, a branch of State
Road 7 from Warsaw to Gdańsk, leading to the Kalingrad Oblast, a Russian enclave in this part
of Europe. Olsztyn is also an important railway hob, with railway connections leading in the
above directions and many local railway lines.
There is a local airport in Olsztyn, which connects the town with airports in Poland and abroad.
The 850 meters by 23 meters concrete runway is suitable for the landing and taking off of
planes which carry up to 10 passengers.
Olsztyn is near Warsaw and Gdańsk – two important economic centres and markets in Poland.
And it is near Kalinigrad, which opens up a vista for the whole of Russia. It is easy to get from
Olsztyn to Lithuania and other Baltic states. Olsztyn is a gate to the whole region of the Masurian Lakes, visited by domestic and foreign holidaymakers.
Olsztyn is a seat of regional authorities, both state and local government (head of the province),
courts of justice – civil law, commercial and administrative ones. There is also a Treasury Chamber, an Internal Revenue Office and a Customs Office, banks and all other institutions helpful in
running business. The town has local newspapers, radio stations and a television station.
STABLE AND DEVELOPING
For a few years now Olsztyn has been evaluated by Fitch Ratings, a prestigious agency headquartered in New York. In this evaluation Olsztyn obtains very good operating results, which
have been improving since 2005. In 2006 the town’s operating surplus was twice as high as
in 2004. Consequently, the town received the highest category and the rating perspective was
determined as stable.
The town’s income from taxes is increasing. In 2005–2006 it went up by 15%. In 2006 taxes
constituted 8% of the operating income of the town. At the same time the town’s income was
8.6% higher than planned. This was a result of better local economy, direct investments, value
of the production output sold and improved situation on the labour market.

OLSZTYN
POPULATION
According to demographic forecasts, the population of Olsztyn
will increase to 176,000 by 2020, while the number of people
living in the whole province will be almost the same as today.
In the past five years the growth rate has clearly declined and
the average age of the population increased. The mean longevity of men is 70.4 years and of women – 77.8 years.
UNEMPLOYMENT
According to the most recent statistics, the unemployment
rate in Olsztyn was 4.5% (June 2007), i.e. 4.1 thousand people.
The unemployment rate decreased by nearly 30% from June
2006 to June 2007. What is more, it has been decreasing for
the past two years.
READY FOR INVESTMENT
Among the sixteen capitals of provinces in Poland, Olsztyn is
one of the leaders in terms of the total urban area covered
by zoning plans. At the moment, current zoning plans cover
as much as 60% of the town’s area. Besides, nearly all the
parts of Olsztyn designated for investments have been zoned.
There are areas for industrial and commercial activity as well
as land for residential, recreational and tourism purposes.
Most of these areas have water, sewage and electric facilities
as well as good road access. In short, Olsztyn creates good
opportunities for immediate investment.
There are also many areas which need either revitalization
or development. They include the areas formerly occupied by
the army, the shores of Ukiel Lake, the so-called Central Park,
the railway and coach stations and the town’s main street,
Piłsudskiego Ave.
THREE PILLARS OF DEVELOPMENT
Although the town’s strategy is based on balanced development, it is already possible to distinguish three leading areas:
science, health protection and tourism.
The beneficial influence of the University of Warmia and Mazury has clearly been seen in many spheres of life since its
foundation in 1999. The university attracts young people,
many of whom decide to stay in our town. The university also
draws many scientists and researchers. These well-educated
people are a driving force of innovation and entrepreneurship,
especially in such branches as food processing, environmental
conservation, geodesy and cartography, veterinary medicine,
plant breeding, renewable energy. University graduates set
